BTS' Jin has added a commercial building to his real estate portfolio.

The building, completed in May 1990, has one basement level and four floors above ground with a total floor area of 303 square meters, and sits on a main-road corner near the luxury residential complexes Hannam The Hill and Nine One Hannam.
